Maybe if Northerners would have realized they fought for the same principles as the south did in 1776.
The Civil War was started by Southern states seceding from a government they had ratified and into which they sought and were granted admission. The Revolutionary War was NOT started by states declaring independence from a government they had ratified.
The Civil War was started by Southern states seceding from a government in which they had equal representation by state and by population. The Revolutionary War was NOT started by states declaring independence from a government in which they had any representation.
The Civil War was started by Southern states seceding from a government in which they had ceded substantial sovereignty (power to declare war, sign treaties, etc.) and from a government which they had agreed created the supreme law of the land. The Revolutionary War was NOT started by states declaring independence from a government in which they had ceded substantial sovereignty or in which they had agreed created the supreme law of the land.

If I could get a hold of a time machine, me and my 200 rangers would put a stop to it. The south would abolish slavery in steps in a 6-8 year time window and the north would abandon the south in haste.
Dont hold your breath.

We didn’t fight a war to end slavery, they fought a war to preserve the Union and keep from losing what the South brought to it. It was the end of the state being the primary organization of citizens and the supremacy of the federal government. The 10th amendment was rendered null and void.
This.
Plus the North invaded the South, not the other way around, so maybe avoid sending armies to attack your own states you want to win over?
